BIG CHESS





You can also enter your moves in plain text format if you are used to english algebraic notation using PGN (Portable Game Notation) for chess & chess 960. Please note that promotions other than Q = Queen must be written in plain text, by modifying the move generated. For example : e8N will be a knight, e8B will be a bishop, e8R will be a rook.

You'll be notified by email of every move played in any of your games, but if the checkbox 'notification' (in your preferences) is not filled. You should login from time to time, as internet and particularly email isn't a completely reliable way. Please be sure to have read the FICGS general rules.

Please speak english only on the forum. Note : Html tags are not supported.
